It might be irrelevant for Gnus, but I think it's relevant for
myself. I want a correct count (mainly on mail groups) because:
1) It looks better when it says "59" instead of "19186" or
whatever. Purely visual.
2) When I enter a group I don't want a:
"How many articles from foo (default 2817): "
when I really only have a 50 or so. This is somewhat annoying.
